    This is a great resource! I actually stumbled across this tool a few weeks ago, but I haven't tried it in the classroom yet. I plan to try it in upcoming weeks. I think it will be great for teachers and students because students can pause/replay the video if needed and teachers can add questions and create quizzes to track student progress and understanding. I'm not currently aware of another tool that has those features and seems to be as user-friendly as EDPuzzle.

    I like this resource. It's something that I'm going to share with my social studies teachers in particular. They are showing videos and this would increase student participation I think. This is a great resource for teachers.

    Good resource. Like the video walk-through on setting up EDPuzzle. Cool in EDPuzzle: You can add questions and notes to specific places in a video.

    Teaching tips in a 21st century classroom

    I really like the tips presented in this article and agree that I could utilize this resource when I become a teacher because the tips are modern and achievable. I believe this resource is mostly for teacher use because it is entitled "teaching practices for teachers," meaning students probably would not benefit from reading about how to become a better teacher. Rather, teachers can use this resource to discover some easy tips they could easily apply to their classroom to become stronger, 21st century teachers. Another resource that could be considered: http://www.educatorstechnology.com/2012/06/33-digital-skills-every-21st-century.html. This provides a link to another article on the same site entitled "The 20 Digital Skills Every 21st Century Teacher Should Have."

  • Students can program apps. They can pitch their ideas. They can handle defending their dreams. Students can code. Students can create. Those who think students can’t do these things either haven’t tried or have a limited view of themselves as educators.
  • App programming with Crescerance has been awesome since I first learned about it from fifth grader Kennedy and from Susan Bearden at ISTE 2014.
  • Want to know more about our Shark Tank event this past spring? Here’s our wiki page on the event.

    Evidence of students programming their own apps. While I can't teach them how, I can encourage them. Hoping to use this in AP to develop a program for building a city.

    I like this website, because it provides resources for teachers. There are other similar resources I used the tag: EnglishLearning.
  • Zoey Salisbury on 11 Oct 15
     
    Katie, I agree that this resource can be used efficiently for other teachers future classrooms, just maybe not my own. The reason why it would not be efficient for my future classroom is because my specific area of teaching is more towards the sciences, and my the language arts. But I did love how there were multiple different websites that were available for further information and valuable resources for teachers. I also enjoyed how there were different topics to choose from such as websites, learning resources, articles and advice, teaching resources, reference, communities & blogs, and many other related posts. This website seems to be just for teachers, especially with other the different resources that are right at the fingertips for any language art or foreign language art teacher. Especially since the resource seems to be just for the english subject or even the foreign language arts course. There were also many different tools, printables, and as they say other great stuff for ELL educators are all available. I am not aware of any other similar resources to be considered, especially since I wasn't interested in looking for ELL websites. But overall, an excellent resource.
  • Erin Keiser on 11 Oct 15
     
    Katie, this is an awesome list of resources! I think so often that teachers neglect ELL learners, especially if they aren't ELL teachers. I was just talking with one of my TESOL friends this last weekend and we both agreed that classroom teachers need to be more accommodating to their ELL students.
  • Ellie Bullock on 12 Oct 15
     
    YAY TESOL. I love seeing other teachers post about TESOL because every teacher is going to encounter ELL students in their teaching career. This is a great list of resources! I have used many of them and know that having them all in one place is extremely helpful. Since this is my future, I would definitely use this website to keep track of resources. It is for teacher use. Most ELL students would have difficulties navigating through these resources and understanding why they would be useful until a teacher helped them understand why. There are many lists on the internet for ESL help, but most have a lot of dead links. From what I looked at, this list looked very helpful!

    This module explores ways to address the specific needs of ELL students and how to scaffold their language and literacy development. You will examine observable behaviors that indicate students' progression through stages of language acquisition. English-language learners are students who have acquired their primary listening and speaking skills in a language other than English.

  • bredvick on 13 Oct 14
     
    I thought this was a useful resource for the introduction of using social media in the classroom being straight forward with the pros and cons. I think this resource would be useful if it were linked with a website that explained how to combat the cons that are pointed out in this article. For example, how can we take the cyber bullying issue and turn it into a learning opportunity in the classroom. I believe this resource should be used to help teachers decide if they want to utilize social media in the classroom. I am aware of multiple resources that point out the pros and cons in social media.

    This was very short, sweet and to the point. It got the points across fairly simply. It would be a good link for an RWLD or something along those lines. A great supplemental read that doesn't take too long to get through and understand.

    This is a great website for 21st Century Learning. There is a large possibility in the future the students are going to be getting the news and updates about their society through online news sources. This is a great way to start the students on reading the news and educating them about the world. We can teach them strategies on how to filter through news in the online environment. I also like this website is kid friendly language.

    I am sharing an educational resource many should look into. I think in todays every growing technology world, it is a good idea for all students to get the basics of programming. I like this 10 tools you can use to support yourself in teaching children the basics of programming. If I find this is interesting to students, I will use more of these tools.
  • Nikki Lyons on 15 Oct 14
     
    They talked about this at ITEC. I think that it is really important for students to learn about programming because there are so many things that are being digitized. As a whole, we all are doing a lot of interacting in virtual environments. If students learn how to program, they won't just have an online presence, they will be able to CREATE an online presence for themselves. I want to become more familiar with programming myself.

    Taking the time, even 15 minutes a day on social media for your classroom can make a different. I think this is an important reminder on the reasons why we should use social media. This is a great starting point if you are just introducing social media into your classroom. I will continue to revisit this website to improve my instructional practice.
